Description
Recorded in Glasgow, Scotland withAidan MoffatandDavid GowofArab Strap, andAli RobertsofAppendix Out, The Lioness explores similar territory as the previous Songs: Ohia album, Axxess and Ace, namely the volatility of relationships. But the mood here is much bleaker than the previous album, and there’s more of a feeling a desperation inJason Molina‘s vocals. On the opening track, “The Black Crow,” he sings “I look down / and see the whole world / and it’s fading.” With the rest of the album, Molina personalizes the universal, lamenting fading love and clinging to it for dear life. Sonically, there is more experimentation on The Lioness than other releases, with flashes of keyboards and duel guitars, but the hallmark, as always, is Molina’s inimitable voice. -All Music Guide
